question about TM internal pressure hoses

[Papa John]

I'm thinking of changing most of the pressure lines in my old blueline TM.
Can I change the current swedged hoses with Goodyear hose and barb fittings and hose clamps instead?
doing this will save money and allow me to custom cut the hoses without a trip to supplier.

Don't.

I prefer double wire reinforced for the internals. Flexibility is not as important as durability.

Try to standardize these hoses as possible so my spare hose fits in any position. Then always have a spare.

DON:T do it not safe and the damage & down time is 0 savings. Get a helper to hold and turn the wrenches . You will be HAPPY after it's all done. jz

Try a local hydraulic shop.

Take one off at a time so you know where it goes.

Tractor Supply carries ready made hydraulic hoses.
1/4, 3/8 and 1/2
Lengths from 18" to 96"
Brand (Countyline)
I have used them for several years with no blowouts.

I take the covers off at home and work on it in the shops parking lot. That way if something else gives I'm already there. I test it out before I leave with the powerwash wand.

Not all hydraulic hoses are rated for our temperatures.

Gotta let em know what you need.

I like the idea of all the hoses being the same.

None of the hoses I've replaced have failed yet.
